ISTQB Exam ATM Topic 2 Question 51 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISTQB's ATM exam
Question #: 51
Topic #: 2
[All ATM Questions]

You are the Test Manager for a project to develop a web customer portal of a Pay-TV company that allows customers (with a smartcard and a set-top box) to purchase digital contents.

In the "select" page the system displays a dialogue where the customer can select the items (digital contents) he/she is interested in. In this page he/she can add one or more items to a shopping cart. An item consists of a product and a duration.

There are three types of products: Movie, sport and premium (movie and sport).

There are four possible durations: 1 months, 2 months, winter (from the beginning of January to end of March) and summer (from the beginning of July to end of September).

All the combinations of products and durations are allowed to define an item. Thus there are twelve possible items. A maximum of six different items can be added to the shopping cart at a time.

When the customer decides to check out he/she goes to the "purchase" page where he/she can pay the total amount of the shopping cart in three different ways:

- using a credit voucher

- using a credit already charged on the smartcard

- using a credit card (accepted credit cards are. Visa, MasterCard and Great Wall Card)

The customer can logout from both the ''select'' and ''purchase'' pages. In this case no purchase is made.

You decide to apply a blended risk-based and reactive testing strategy and the following is a subset of the exit criteria for system testing:

EXCR1- Each ''critical'' quality risk item must be covered by at least one test condition EXCR2- Each ''critical'' requirement must be covered by at least one test condition You are following a risk-based testing strategy. The test execution time is very limited. Assume that all the product risk items require more or less the same level of test effort.

Which of the following answers describes the best execution schedule in this scenario? K3 3 credits

Wait, so we're testing a pay-TV system and the customers can use a 'Great Wall Card' to pay? I'm picturing someone trying to scale the Great Wall of China to make a purchase. Truly innovative thinking!

I don't know about you, but I'm just hoping the 'Great Wall Card' is a real thing and not some kind of inside joke. Anyways, I think D is the way to go - it's the most logical flow of the customer journey.

I think D makes sense too, starting with pre-activation and ending with IVR channel transactions.

Hold on, are we sure the IVR channel is even relevant here? Shouldn't we be focusing on the web portal and the smartcard interactions? I'd go with option C, it feels more targeted to the actual system under test.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm leaning towards option B since it seems to cover the key steps in the customer journey, but I'll need to double-check the requirements to be sure.

This question is really testing our understanding of the system requirements and the testing approach. I think the best schedule is option D since it aligns with the critical risk items and requirements coverage criteria.

That's a good point, but I still think testing the acceptance of transactions should come first.

I disagree, I believe option C is better because it prioritizes the activation of the Smart Card.
